Ingredients

For the Brownie Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)

• 1/2 cup cocoa powder

• 1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cup almond milk (or any plant milk)

• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or vegan butter)

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan if desired)
  

For the Tahini Swirl:

• 1/3 cup tahini (stirred well)

• 2 tablespoon maple syrup

• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Tahini Swirl:

   • In a small bowl, mix together tahini, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.

   • Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Brownie Batter:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   • Add almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

   • Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.

   • Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

4. Assemble the Brownies:

   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

   • Spoon dollops of the tahini mixture over the top.

   • Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the tahini into the batter — don’t overmix!

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few fudgy crumbs are perfect).

   • Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Slice into squares and enjoy as-is or with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top for extra flair.
